Ombudsman to Investigate School Building Sale in Tak Province

According to a report by Matichon Online, the Office of the Ombudsman of Thailand is preparing to conduct an on-site inspection at the Ban Taluk Hin School branch in Tak province. This intervention follows allegations that the school’s director auctioned off the original school building, forcing approximately 40 students to relocate their studies to a local mango warehouse.

For residents and those interested in local governance, this situation highlights significant concerns regarding the management of public educational assets and the welfare of students in remote areas. The investigation aims to clarify the circumstances surrounding the sale of the building and determine whether proper administrative procedures were followed by the school director.

At this stage, several details remain to be confirmed, including the legal basis for the auction and the timeline for when the students might return to a proper classroom environment. The Ombudsman’s visit is expected to provide a clearer picture of the administrative actions taken and the impact on the students' education. As this is an ongoing administrative matter, further updates are expected once the inspection is completed and the findings are officially reviewed.
